MAGAZIN E-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 749,067, dated January5, 1904.

Application led July 29, 1903.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GEORGE E. KENDALL and WILLIAM L. OOWDIN, citizensof the United States, residing at Delphi, in the county of Carroll andState of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inMagazine-Stoves; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

This invention relates to improvements in magazine-stoves, and has forits object the production of a stove with means for supplying air in aheated condition within the casing of the stove. l

Another object of the invention is to assemble means within the casingof the stove for discharging heated air directly over and in the line ofcombustion of the fuel contained within the fire-pot of the stove.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in certainother novel construction, combinations, and arrangements of parts,aswill be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, and more particularly pointed out in the claims heretoappended.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a central sectional view of the stove. Fig.2 is an inverted detail perspective view of the air heating andsupplying member assembled within the casing of the stove.

Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout bothfigures of the drawings.

In the drawings,reference-numeral 1 designates a stove-casing mountedupon suitable legs 2, and 3 is an escape-pipe connected with the casingat 4 and 5. Within the extension of the pipe 3, which is connected withthe casing 1 at 4, is mounted a suitable damper 6. A suitable pivotedtop 7 is secured to the casing l'at 8, and mounted within said casing isa magazine 9. A bracket 10 is secured within the casing and is adaptedto receive an ash-receiving receptacle 11. Said receptacle or casing 11is provided with a iiange, and said flange is adapted to receive theiirepot 12. Interposed between the casing 11 and the fire-pot 12 is asuitable grate 13. An annular ring or supply-duct 14 is secured uponSerial No. 167,508. (No model.)

the magazine 9. This air-supplying mem- -ber 14 comprises a curvedannular portion 15.

Said portion is provided with a flange, formed integral therewith andextending at an angle from the bottom thereof, as designated in thedrawings by reference-numeral 16. Extending at an angle and formedintegral with the portion 15 is a fiange or extension 17. The extension17 is adapted to fit snugly around lthe magazine 9 when the member 14 isin an assembled position thereon. A lug 18 or like means is formedintegral with the member 14 and is adapted to rest upon the top or outeredge of the fire-pot 12. A cylindrical member 19 is secured to thecurved portion 15 of the member 14, and said cylindrical member extendsfrom the magazine 9 to an aperture formed in the casing l. A suitabledamper or sliding door 20 is secured to the outer surface of the casing1 and is adapted to close the aperture formed for the reception of thecylindrical casing 19. A door or damper 21 is secured .to the casing andis adapted to close the opening through which is passed the ash-pan 22,which is adapted to be placed within the ash-casing l1, secured withinthe stove-casing 1.

The fuel is supplied to the re-pot through the magazine 9, and as thecombustion takes place the smoke and dames pass around the member 14,and if it is desired to have the said combustion pass under the casings9, 11, and 12 the damper 6 may be closed, and as the opening 5,connected with the pipe 3, is not provided with a damper the escapedvapors will pass through the same. To assist in the combustion of thefuel, the damper 2O is opened and the air containing oxygen passes intothe cylindrical receptacle 19 of the annular member 14, passingtherefrom into the compartment formed by the member 14 around themagazine 9 land is heated therein, and from said compartment it passesthrough the annular opening adjacent to the magazine 9, and from saidopening the air is discharged directly above the fire-pot into the lineof combustion. The heated oxygen mingles with the heated hydrogen andgreatly assists the burning of the gases. By the construction shown anddescribed we have found that the smoke which escapes from the firepot isgreatly reduced, and if the draft, con- IOO trolled by the sliding door20, is opened to the fullest extent practically no smoke at all will becaused by the consumption of the fuel in the re-pot 12. It will be seenupon carefully examining the drawings that the fresh air containing theoxygen is directed into the annular receptacle formed by the member 14.After the same has been heated the {iange 16 directs the discharge ofsaid air against the magazine 9 and through the opening formed by theflange 16, terminating adjacent to the funnel-shaped walls of the casing9.

The large compartment 23, formed under the assembled casings retainedwithin the stove, provides an extra surface for the gases to come intocontact with,and thereby greatly increasing the heating capacity of ourimproved stove, It will be obvious that the lug or extension 18, formedon the annular ring or casing 14, and the member 19 of the said casingprovides means for securing the said casing and the magazine 9 in afixed position within the casing 1, as the said extension 18 engages theouter rim of the {ire-pot 12 and the extension or casing 19 is securelyretained within the aperture formed in the casing 1.

We Wish it understood that although we have described and shown in thedrawings our preferred form of invention we do not limit ourselvesthereto, but reserve the right to make such modification as shall fairlyfall within the scope of our invention.

Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim as new, anddesire to secure by Let-ters Patent, is-

1. In a device of the character described, the combination with acasing, of a magazine contained therein, a lire-pot secured beneath saidmagazine and mounted above an ashcasing, an annular member surroundingthe magazine, said member provided with an extension engaging the outeredge of the firepot, an annular extension formed upon the upper edge ofsaid member and encircling the wall ofthe magazine, an opening formed inthe bottom of said member, and means secured to the member and providingan opening on the same horizontal plane with the member for supplyingair thereto.

2. In a magazine-stove, the combination with an outer casing, a bracketretained to the inner wall of the stove, a ire-pot mounted upon saidbracket secured to said casing, a funnel-shaped magazine mounted withinthe top of the stove and above the re-pot, an annular member mountedupon said magazine, an extension formed upon said annular member at oneside thereof and at the opposite side a cylindrical extension formedintegral therewith and provided with means for communicating with theinner compartment of said annular member and the outer surface of thestove-casing, a flange partly inclosing the bottom of said annularcasing and extending at an angle from the side thereof, and means forcontrolling the supply of air to the annular member.

3. In a magazine-stove, the combination with an outer casing, a magazinemounted within the outer casing, a fire-pot and an ashcasing assembledwit-hin the stove, a removable bracket secu red to the inner face of thecasing and engaging and supporting said ashcasing, a large compartmentformed beneath the ash-casing communicating with an escape-pipe, anannular casing surrounding the magazine and provided with a cylindricalmember connecting said annular casing with the outer casing, anextension and said cylindrical member formed integral with the annularcasing for retaining the same in an assembled position with the otherparts, an annular opening formed in the bottom of said annular casingand providing means for discharging heated air from said annular casingagainst the magazine-wall and into the line of combustion of the fuelcontained within the fire-box.

In testimony whereof we hereunto aix our signatures in presence of twowitnesses.
